Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
Researchers at Tel Aviv University have 3D bioprinted a heart complete with atria, ventricles, and blood vessels using cells harvested from the patient. The work represents a major advance in…
The first human CRISPR gene editing trial to be conducted in the United States has now commenced. The treatment is being given to two patients as part of a study…
Researchers at Duke University have developed a new technique for improving the accuracy of gene edits made using the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing tool. CRISPR-Cas9 has been shown to be highly…
A team of researchers in India have grown cardiac muscle cells from induced pluripotent stem cells on human amniotic membrane which has outperformed the commercially available gelatin-based 3D matrix substrate…
Pluripotent stem cells are extremely useful in regenerative medicine as stem cells have the ability to transform into any type of cell. They can therefore be used to repair organs…
Researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology at Cambridge University have grown a miniature brain in the lab which created functional tendril-like connections to spinal cord and muscle tissue….
Harvard University researchers have smashed the record for the most genetic alterations made in a single cell. The researchers used the CRISPR gene editing tool to make 13,200 changes to…
A team of researchers in Utrecht, Holland has successfully created kidney organoids in the lab from adult human stem cells that are capable of surviving for more than 6 months….
The gene editing tool CRISPR-Cas9 allows precise edits to be made to genes to eliminate mutations or introduce new genes. The technology certainly has potential to cure genetic diseases, improve…
A team of researchers at Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM) has developed a system that can bioprint human skin using a patient’s own cells. The system is mobile…
